Family? (Stray Kids OT8 x Reader)

||11||

Changbin just stood there in shock, his mind not processing what had just happened. Minho had not just survived, but had found himself another family? Changbin gritted his teeth together, clenching his fists. Minho had left him with those disgusting people after he had promised Changbin that they would escape together. Changbin shook his head, an angry laugh escaping his lips.

"That son of a bitch really left me and found another family?" Changbin said to himself. Just in time, Minho and 3 unfamiliar men walked in through the doors of the hospital, all their faces scrunched up in worry. 

Changbin cleared his throat, causing the 4 men to look at him. "Changbin...?" Minho asked, his eyes watery. 

"You're Changbin? Thank God! If it weren't for you, Y/N would've died," another man said. "Where is she?" an unusual red haired man asked him.

"You're a hybrid?" the oldest man asked him. "Yeah, I am. Minho already knew that though," Changbin said, his voice laced with fury. The man scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion, "I'm Chan, that's Jeongin and that's Hyunjin." Changbin nodded, his eyes still not leaving Minho's.

"So how did you know Minho?" Hyunjin asked with his head tilted. "Why don't you ask him?" Changbin replied, rolling his eyes. "We don't have time for this. Where is Y/N?" Jeongin asked, bringing Changbin's eyes to him. "She was taken to the ICU, but I think the surgery is over now," Changbin replied, earning a nod from Jeongin.

"Do you know where L/N Y/N is?" Chan asked the receptionist. "She's on the 5th floor in room 5 in the recovery ward. Visiting hours are going finish in 30 minutes," the receptionist said, earning a relieved sigh from Chan.

The 5 men rushed up to the 5th floor and knocked on the door before entering. "Y/N! Thank God, you're okay," Jeongin said, rushing up to her side. "I'm never going to let you cool off ever again," Chan whispered, earning a pained laugh from Y/N.

"Hey guys. I'm completely fine as you can see," she smiled. "Now's not the time to joke around, you almost died," Minho whispered comfortingly, holding the injured girl's hand. Y/N looked behind to see Hyunjin standing there, his face filled with concern for her.

"You can come closer you know," she said to Hyunjin. He immediately rushed up to her side and placed his head onto her shoulder. "You look so disgusting," Hyunjin said, earning a laugh from Y/N. 

"Yeah I know I do," she replied, causing Hyunjin to lightly hit her on the arm. "I was just joking. You actually look cute in the hospital gown," he said, still holding onto her.

Y/N turned to Changbin. "Thank you for saving my life. Is there anything I can do to repay you?" she asked, a genuine smile forming on her face. Changbin had never seen a human be so genuine about something. This made his heart feel euphoric.

Just then, he remembered Minho and what he had done to him previously. "Yeah there actually is something. Can I live with you for a while?" Changbin asked, causing everyone to gasp. 

"How the-" Jeongin said, his mind still in disbelief after hearing that. "Another one?" Chan whined. "What do you mean 'another one' Chan?" Y/N asked, looking at Chan. "He's a hybrid too," Hyunjin said, causing Y/N to gasp. 

"What is up with me? Do I attract hybrids or something?" Y/N chuckled, causing the 5 hybrids to look at her. "What?" she asked, confused. 

"Our house is going to be full with hybrids, I just know it. It's not going to stop with Changbin," Chan said, looking at her. Y/N laughed, "Yeah, you can stay with us."

"Oh," Chan started, "how do you know Minho?" This question caused Minho to gulp, his palms becoming sweaty.

"Well, Minho and I were actually best of friends back at the zoo. We would always hang around each other for safety and comfort. We even promised each other that we would help each other escape. I trusted him, but soon he broke my trust by leaving me alone to suffer there. He told me he would come back for me, but he never did," Changbin said, his voice laced with anger. 

Everyone turned to look at Minho. "Is that true?" Chan asked. Minho just remained silent, confirming that Changbin's story was true. "I'm sorry Changbin, I couldn't take you with me the day I killed them. The other would've caught both of us and we both would've died there!" Minho hastily yelled, tears spilling out of his eyes.

"That still doesn't give you a reason to keep me there! You could've came back for me, but no, you decided that this new life of yours was better than our friendship!" Changbin yelled back, his face fuming with rage. 

"I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry Changbin. I'll earn back your trust, just please don't hate me," Minho cried, falling down beside Changbin's legs. Changbin's heart hurt to see his best friend cry in front of him. Minho was not the type to cry, so seeing him cry made Changbin want to cry. 

"Okay. I'll give you some time," Changbin whispered, lifting Minho up from the ground, "but I don't think things can ever go back to the way they were." Minho nodded, pulling Changbin into a tight hug. "Thank you."

Hyunjin, Chan, Jeongin and Y/N were looking at each other in shock and confusion. 'What just happened,' Hyunjin mouthed to the 3. The 3 just shrugged their shoulders, also confused as to what just happened. "So, uh, you're living with us?" Jeongin asked, trying to change the subject.

"Yeah I guess I am," Changbin replied. "What is your animal?" Y/N asked Changbin. "I'm a Jaguar," Changbin replied, "Minho and I were always in the same enclosure because we're basically the same animal." 

Y/N gasped, realising she had still not yet asked Jeongin what his animal form was. She smacked herself in the face, causing Chan to immediately restrain her arms. "What are you doing?" he asked worriedly. "I still didn't ask Jeongin what his animal form was," she whined, dropping her head down.

Jeongin giggled, "I'm a Fennec Fox." He laughed as he ruffled her hair. 

"Wait. Do you smell that?" Chan asked, looking at the hospital ward's door. "Yeah I do," Minho said, standing up. Chan, Changbin and Minho growled, walking towards the door, while Hyunjin and Jeongin stood right by Y/N. "What's going on guys?" Y/N asked confused. 

"Hybrids. A lot of them."
